The day Gramps passed away seemed to go on forever. That evening, Jake repeated his question from earlier in the day, asking Grammy what she was going to do without Gramps. Before she could answer he said, “Maybe you can get a new husband?” Though he was quite proud of his solution to Grammy’s sadness — and his own—Jake seemed to understand it wasn’t going to be so easy. We praised him for caring so much and gently explained why Grammy, or any of us, wouldn’t want to replace Gramps. Jake sat quietly, perhaps letting the reality sink in that Grammy would not be getting a new husband and that he would not be getting a new Gramps. “Don’t worry Grammy,” he said, “I’ll take care of you.”
